Instructions:
Prepare the Slow Cooker: Start by greasing your slow cooker with a bit of butter to prevent sticking.
Layer the Ingredients: Begin by layering half of the sliced potatoes, half of the thinly sliced onions, and half of the diced ham in the slow cooker.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the layered ingredients in the slow cooker.
Repeat the Layers: Repeat the layering process with the remaining sliced potatoes, onions, and ham.
Mix the Creamy Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
Pour Mixture Over Layers: Evenly pour the creamy mixture over the layers of potatoes, onions, and ham in the slow cooker.
Cooking Time: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. This allows the potatoes to become tender and the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Final Cheese Layer: In the last few minutes of cooking, sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the dish and allow it to melt.
Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley to add a touch of freshness. Enjoy your delicious Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes with Ham!
